Look at the fabulous things I got for my birthday last week! Alex took my non-subtle hint and tracked down that Pantone mug at Chicago's Sprout Home. Awww. I'm also now the proud owner of this gorgeous lasercut wooden pendant by molly m designs and this comfy graphic shirt by SkunkFunk. If you like clothes, check out SkunkFunk's collection. They use eco-friendly fabrics, and their website makes me want everything. These last two items are from P+L Boutique in Chicago, a friendly shop I discovered recently. They tie up their packages with orange ribbon and slip them into orange polka-dot bags, so of course I was charmed.

I also received exotic gifts from the orient: the Japanese movies Dolls and Departures, and a kitchen sponge shaped like an orange. Life doesn't get much better than that.

Happy belated Birthday, too! That shirt is too cute, and I am head-over-heels for that Pantone mug. It's something every graphic designer needs to have sitting on their desk (or actually using it for cofee or tea). :)

Having recently found your blog I dont wanna leave without wishing you a very happy belated birthday. With orange being my fav color I am already in love with your sponge! Many happy days, Paula / Germany

Interesting to read others' comments about my DVD gift! There are many many movies and animations that I would like you to watch, but most of them don't have subtitles, or have the Region problem... My family is in love with Korean dramas these days and spend a lot of time to catch up.

About the world "orient", for me as a Japanese, there is no problem. I know it's controversial, but we were taught Japan was called "Sun Rising Country" in 7th century. Well, a long long time ago, so do not try to argue about it with me, please!!! I'm a pacifist.
